Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a revision 
request for the information collection titled ``Requirements for the 
Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the United States.'' This 
information collection contains the reporting and documentation 
requirements for registered importers of nonhuman primates.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 8, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2017-
0021 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Leroy A. Richardson, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE., MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted 
without change to Regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided. For access to the docket to read background documents or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Requirements for the Importation of Nonhuman Primates into the 
United States (OMB Control No. 0920-0263, Expiration Date, 09/30/
2017)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 
Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Under the 42 CFR 71.53, CDC collects information pertaining to 
importers and imported nonhuman primates. This information collection 
enables CDC to evaluate compliance with pre-arrival of shipment 
notification requirements and to investigate the number and species of 
imported nonhuman primates. Also, it enables CDC to determine if 
adequate measures are being taken for the prevention of exposure to 
persons and animals during importation.
    Since May 1990, CDC has monitored the arrival and/or uncrating of 
certain shipments of non-human primates imported into the United 
States. In February 2013, CDC promulgated two regulations pertaining to 
the importation of nonhuman primates. The first rule, Establishment of 
User Fees for Filovirus Testing of Nonhuman Primate Liver Samples, 
outlines a process by which importers can send liver tissues to CDC 
from primates that die during importation from reasons other than 
trauma (2/12/2013, Vol.78, No. 29, p. 9828). CDC performs these tests 
due to the absence of a private sector option. The second rule, 
Requirements for Importers of Nonhuman Primates, consolidates into 42 
CFR 71.53 the requirements previously found in 42 CFR part 71.53 with 
those found in the Special Permit to Import Cynomolgus, African Green, 
or Rhesus Monkeys into the United States (2/15/2013, Vol. 78, No. 32/p. 
11522). It also rescinded the six-month special-permit requirements for 
cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus monkeys and extended the time 
period for registration/permit renewal from 180 days to 2 years, 
reducing much of the respondent burden. CDC feels these regulatory 
changes and reporting

[[Page 12963]]

requirements balance the public health risks posed by the importation 
of nonhuman primates with the burden imposed on regulating their 
importation.
    All registered importers of non-human primates are required by 42 
CFR part 71.53 to maintain certain disease control procedures and keep 
certain records. Standard business practices likely dictate that 
importers already keep records on the origin, transportation, and 
disposition of the nonhuman primates. Thus, CDC asks for information 
which should already be maintained by the importers and need only be 
assembled and reported. The estimate of burden hours and costs reflects 
assembling and reporting only.
